The Report stated, that the Committee had pursued the investigation intrusted t o i ts charge, and' that Jos. Clarke, B. Clarke, John Dunstan, Timothy Francis Power, and A. A. Surtees, having been removed from their office as Directors, it became requisite to fill up these vacancies.--. The Report stated, that the works in Ireland had been te ducedto a comparatively trilling amount, a n d t h at thej will not exceed 501. a-week for the future. As to the h anc i a l a ff a irs, there being no auditors present, no .state meet certified' in the proper form could be laid before the Meeting; The funds of the Company consisted of a sum of about 11,0341 3 per Cent. Consols. Applications had been made to, the , original Trustees to transfer the stock to the Gentlemen now moving as Directors but the transfer having been refused, legal notice had been served upon the Bank of England, in order to prevent the possibility of a misapplication of it. Mr. Joseph Clarke asked whether the Report had been signed by three Directors in office ? This was answered in the negative. Mr. Brogden , in order to settle the matter, took a pen Report. Mr. sig ne d t h e Mr. Denman , _ when Mr. Brogden put th e question, wheth er the Report should be received, rose to protest, which he did i n t h e l ou d est t one , aga i nst proceeding to the election of. Directors upon a R e p ort got up under such c i rcumstances. Be' said, the contrast between the pre set:tetra.- Of the' Company, and its condition under the 'Joyner Dilut or/ , was m os t lamentable. When the E. Directors were first arraigned, they offered to take all the shares at par, and they were now worth Is. a share. Mr. Comerford said the shares had suffered a deprecia tion under the former Direction. It must be manifest to every one, that the bad effects could only be obviated by persevering in a course of quite a different kind. Mr. M'Lean and Sir William Congreve had consented to trans fer the stock, but Mr. Joseph Clarke had refused. Mr. Joseph Clarke said his property in the Company, which was, when he was in the Direction, worth upwards of 3,0004 was reduced to the value of 2504 by the conduct of the gentlemen who now took it upon themselves to act as Directors. Mr. Clarke said he had received a letter from Mr. Comerford, requesting that he would transfer the stock into the hands of Mr. Bent, Mr. Brogden, and Mr. Mor gan. He certainly had refused so to do, and for very good reasons he thought. In the first place, if he transferred the 10,0004, andif the three gentlemen had thought proper to misapply it, they would not be responsible to the Share holders for the loss. In the next, he felt disposed to pro teet his own property, as well as theirs, and he did not chettise to acept Mr. Brogden as a trAttec. Mr. Denman—This is no meeting at all. Every thing done here is null and void. We had better adjourn. Mr. Robert Hitchens moved that the Report be re ceived. Mr. William Clarke said, that of this he was sure, the property of the. Shareholders, so far from being depre ciated by the efforts of the Committee, would not now be worth ten farthings, if the former Directors had been per mitted to remain in power. The fall in those shares w a s the consequence of mismanagement and abuses, which it was the business . of the present Committee to correct; and also said no language could speak more strongly than the acts of the Directors, and the determination of the Share holders to expel them. . _ Mr. Power s (an old Director).—You lie! Mr. Win. Clarke assured the Proprietors, without tak ing notice of this most respectable line of argument, that he was sure no man could be more zealous or active than those whom they were called upon to elect. [Here some conversation took place in different parts of the room. The lie was repeatedly given, and parties strutted up to each other as if they meditated some very terrible breaches of the peace.) _ _ Mr. Brogden.—This is really horrible, gentlemen. Shareholders.—lt is your business, Mr. Chairman, to put a stop to it. Why don't you do so? Mr. Brogden.—The language is so different from that which I have ever been in the habit of hearing—and I have been connected with several Joint Stock Companies —that I do not know how to act. A Shareholder.--I am the nephew of Mr. Power, and I went to Mr. Comerford and Mr. Parker, and said, that I would not allow any one to calumniate my uncle or Mr. Surtees. They assured me that they had nothing to allege against either; and am I now to listen to those calumnies ? This gave rise to further confusion, and it was asserted that Mr. Brogden had described all the gentlemen in the former Direction as the most zealous men he had ever met with in his life. Mr. Brogden.—Certainly I did, until I discovered what ;hey were. liTr. John Hinde said, that he had been grossly calum niated, in a speech made by Mr. Bent, in his absence. It was with respect to a conversation with Mr. Flattery, out of whose pocket the sum of 15,000/. that had been di vided, had come, instead of out of the pockets of the Shareholders. Mr. Flattery.—lt never came out of my pocket, for it never got in. ' Mr. Hinde stated, that the report of Mr. Bent's speech made that gentleman say, that Mr. Flattery told him that Mr. Hinde said he knew that the 15,0001. was divided ,between the Directors, and that he (Mr. Hinds) after wards admitted that fact to Mr. Bent. Now this was not the fact; he had said nothing of the kind to either. Mr. Flattery—The Clarkes get the money ; they know it. I ask you, did they not make gO,OOO/. by the sale of shares ? If I had chosen to put Money in my pockets, could I not have sold my shares ? • A Shareholder—We had better join Roger Flattery, Esq. to the new Directors ?—(Laughter.) Mr. Flattery—Do you hold your tongue, Isaac. You are always telling such d—d lies. Go along and account for the 10,000/. you got out of the Hombush mines. A Shareholder—You lie! Another—You lie, you rascal ! Mr. Flattery—You know, Isaac, you are an ould liar. Mr. Denman—Why, Mr. Flattery, you act with great assurance. It is not long since you were a beggar. Mr. Flattery—You are the cut of an ould beggar—look at him. Mr. Hinde-1 must say, that Mr. Bent told a most impudent falsehood in saying, that I made the acknow ledgment to him about the 15,0001. division. I never did. He came to me, and spoke to me about the Arigna—but I never replied. I always said to Mr. Bent, that he was to receive a bonus; and if the Clarkes hare not made a good thing.of it, I am very sorry for it. Mr. Flattery—Oh, this is pretty humbugging. Affer a great deal of angry discussion, in the midst of which Mr. Brogden said he really believed that he should be obliged to call in the assistance of the police, The Report was at length received, and the following gentlemen were elected Directors—Mr. Brogden, Mr. Bent, Mr. Morgan, Cap tain Fox,Ca t r Mr. R. Hit c h ens , Mr. -Frampton, Mr. Mr. r.i3 Mr arr o oN o v, n, Mr. Hill s , an d M r . li er l ey. Auditors—Mr. Gooch and Mr. Pritchett. Mr. Joseph Clarke entered his protest against the pro (eiediiigs ik , s as illegal ; and was borne o u t in his opinion by A • r, v sen., who attended upon the part of th e ex - Ni ' directors. Mr. Brogden must have felt greatly humiliated. M any of the Shareholders treated him with the most rude scorn. His request was, upon every occasion, disregard ed, and he had the charge of participation repeatedly thrown in his teeth. The following is a copy of a notice posted at Lloyd's:.-- SWEDISH DIVING COMPANY. The Committee are informed, that application has been made for the renewal of the Charter of this Company for 25 ye ar s, of December, 1827; and that the president and direc tore are endettvouring to obtain certificates from ship-owners a nunderwriters in Sweden, and foreign countries, that they oiling of 1825:vheleill: the *e c,„ 'll° em P l a i nt to make against the conduct and charges of Committee and that they wish for a continuance of it.

CAILBRIDGI, Aust. 4.—Mr. George William Barnard, of King's College, was on Wednesday last admitted Fellow of that society. Dr. Rennet!, the venerable Dean of Winchester; bee, awing to advanced age and increasing infirmity, resigned the Mastership of the:Temple, to which he was presaatted by Mr. Pitt; and will, it is said, be succeeded by the Rev. Christopher Benson, the present rector of St. Giles in the Fields, and formerly anima Lecturer in this university. His Majesty having been pleased to grant a Royal Charter of Incorporation to the University Life Assurance Society, the first meeting of the members was held at the British Coffee House, on Tuesday, the 18th of July, the Right lion. Charles Manners Sut ton in the chair. A considerable number of gentlemen were pre sent. After tte charter had been read, a very satisfactory state ment of the business which had been transacted during the first year of the establishment of the society previous to the charter, was laid before the meeting, when it appeared that assurances had been proposed to the amount of nearly 400,0001., and policies granted on the lives of 222 persons, to whom by a singular coin cidence the number of Oxford and Cambridge men were exactly equal, and that the society had tkostained no loss by the death of any meurer. The bye-laws were then agreed upon, under which the corporations will in future be governed. The petitioners to his Majesty fur the charter were the Lord Bishop of Bristol, the Very Rev. the Dean of Christ Church, the Right Hon. Charles Manners Sutton, then Speaker of the House of Commons, and John Wray, Esq., Barrister-at-Law, late of Trinity College, Cam bridge. The charter has been granted for the purpose of encou raging among professional men, and more particularly the clergy, the practice of life assurances, but it is 'linked to those persons who are now, or have been, members of the Universities of Oxford or Cambridge. The Rey. William Charles Ridley, of Kimbolton, is appointed domestic chaplain to the Duke of Manchester. COMBINATION PAPER, 1826. Pliwa coma. Aug. 6. Coll. Regal. 13. C,oll. Trim 20. Coll. Joh. 27.

A Gentleman, nearly 8 0 Years of age, who has for several mouths be en res idi ng al a lodger at Charlton, near Dover, left his bed on Friday morning about half-past four o'clock, and walked to the brook near the Victualling-Office, and threw him self into the water. H e was taken out by a person who saw the occurrence, and seemed to walk home; but on his bei ng left alone, he returned, and again threw himself into the water. Tw o persons who were paining rescued him a second time, and took him so his lodging° , He assigued no rem" for his sin fuller conduct.—r Knitiet Gazatt, MEXICO. The following are extracts from the address of the President of Mexico, in closing the session of Con gress in May last : " The treaty of amity, navigation, and commerce with Great Britain, although it has hitherto offered same difficulties, which have retarded the wished-for end of the negociation, it is to be hoped will soon be concluded in a manner convenient and advantageous to the parties ; and that it will place the seal on the relations which happily exist already, and which are cultivated by the one nation and the other in the bosom of the most sincere friendship. When good faith and frankness preside over the se gociations, it is easy to approximate even the interests which ap pear most distant. " It is moreover to be believed that we shall, from the same principles, labour to place in close union, and to regulate the inte rest of the United States of the North with those of this country. The Government, following up its system of neutral commerce on the basis of perfect equality, has, in the course of the negocia tions, resisted the exception which Mexico desires to establish and to see generalized in those parts of America which have been depen dent on the same mother country, and which, from their identity of principles, of origin, and of necessities, make common cause for their mutual assistance against thait common enemy. Those States, though American in their opinions and interests, have connexions with Europe which are to be respected to a certain point—connexions which do not exist for the new States, which are under the necessity of assisting one another in every sense. An official document, which has just appeared in the face of the na tions, has illustrated the policy of the cabinet at Washington in re gard to the grand continent of America, The memorable promise of President Monroe, contained in his message of the-2d of De ' *ember of ISIS, is not sustained by the actual Government of the United States of the North, which has publicly declared that it has contracted no obligation, nor made any promise to the Govern ments of Mexico and of South America—that the Unite! Stites will not suffer the interference of any foreign power in the inde pendence and form of government of these nations.' It is certain that Mr. Clay, Secretary of State, and author of the note, appeals to the sympathy of the people of the United States, and their com munity of interests with the new republics; but it is no less cer tain that the guarantee of a compact disappears, from the disin .clination of this Government to unite itself with ours in the strug gle which some powerful auxiliary of Spain may provoke. The Mexican Republic, in declaring her irulepenrience of all the na tions of the globe, rested herself on the purity of the principles she invoked, in the inexhaustible resources of her soil, and in the ad venturous valour of her sons. She proclaimed maxims of univer sal justice, and her desires to unite herself to all the nations by the ties of a friendship the most intimate, and the reciprocity of rights and obligations. No flag has been excluded from her ports, and her rich commerce remains constantly open to the speculations of the subjects of all countries. This philanthropic conduct has gained the Mexican United States the esteem and the approbation of nations, white at the same time the tranquillity of the interior, .and the free circulation of riches have strengthened her elements :of defence. The Gcreernment of the Republic regards it as be :yond the circle of probabilities, that any power, distinct from Spain, should venture an the enterprise of disturbing the pacific possession Of .an existence which valour acquired, and moderation protects. . But if, contrary to all expectation, the classic. soil of liberty should be profaned, Mexico by herself alon e will b e enoug h to defend and preserve her rights and dignities. " The Emperor Alexand e r, in the last days of his life, when be descended to the tomb, bowed clown by the weight of the domi nion of Europe, proclaimed solemnly his principles, his wishes, and his intentions in respect to the American revolution. Mr. Clay announced to the Cabinet of St. Petereburgh the profound considerations which bound it to interfere in so important a busi ness. The Secretary of the United States insists on the idea that ' the peace of the world will not be irrevocably assured, while the convulsions and the uncertisiti struggle in - America remain. The designs of the Cabinet of Washington will do honour to it always, because they have been worthy of its foresight, of ite calculation, and of its phila4phy.; :I'hefoundations of Antericsu independence are analysed with singular'doterity, light is diffused over facts, awl the final development, which, after so various events has at lengtkoccurred, is &retold. The necessity of conforming to cir cumstances, and to the irresistible power of a triumphant revolu tion, is enforced with great boldness. The resources of the new States are shown, and the fear lest the continu a tio n o f th e war , o f a war fatal to Spain itself, may give a pernicious turn to certain ' interests, to the united ` frees of t 0,000,000 of men confederated and conquering, nothing is oinittedwhich may conduce meet forth events of which the evidence is so palpable. It must, injustice, be confessed that the Emperor of Russia did not turn a deaf ear to an invitation which concerned his generous character as regulator of the destinies of Europe, Count Nesselrode, in a note of the oth of August of last year, confines 'himielf to declaring, that t jme opi nions of Isis Majesty do not permit.him, in so important a'iase, to anticipate the determinations of the mother country; itrid that Russia cannot give a ileAnite reply to the propositions of the united States, till she shall have received positive intelligence of the fur ther designs of Spain, 'and of the intention of the The favourite maxima of a cabinet which marches at the head of the Allied Powers are not unknown, neither will it be hidden from him who reflects on the phrues.of this celebrated document, that they involve hostile projects of Russia against the modern Republics." • " In the administration of salt, gunpowder, and other incomes of the federation, the regulitiony which have been observed have proved of such success, that after covering the national expenses and all the foreign debts, a surplus for the republic may be ex pected from the progressive continuation,. of the present order of things. I observe, with "a singular satisfaction, that my prognos tics of January last are going to be realised in the middle of the present year. " I have also the satisfaction to be enabled to inform the Clam bers, that the obligations entered into with 11 reign markets for loans are religiously complied With down to the present day. " In the beginning of January of the present year, it was neces sary to place money in London to meet the payment of dividend♦ of the loan effected through the house of B. A. Goldschinidt and Co., and a remnant occurred to the balance due. The funds destined for the April dividend are actually at sea. There is suf ficient now at Vera Cruz. What is wanted for the dividend payable on the Ist July next, will he shipped without loss of time, and my satisfaction is. still increase 4, when I can assure the General Congress that the sums which are to come into the public Treasury by vessels already entered into our ports, are sufficient to fill up the great fund wanted for the last two dividends of 1826. " The Mexican National Funds had followed the fall of those of the first rank in England. In the last few months, the fall of every description of credit, withont excepting the European ones, was progressive to the most abject degree ; the result of this moment was, that various houses stopped payment, and among them the house of Goldscinuidt, involving the Mexican Govern. ment in a balance in its Favour; but care has been taken to secure it, with the assistance of the laws.

This will save you!--this is an emetic I"—and the poor man, seizing the bottle, pour ed it down his throat with the utmost avidity; making, however, an involuntary grimace at its nauseous taste, as he finished the draught. "Do you really think it will save me ?" he asked, in an altered tone. " I have no doubt of it ;" said she. " But how did all this happen P and what poison was it ?" " The poisoned water of the lake, I tell you!" exclaimed the Englishman;" sand"—" The water of the lake!--poisoned!—but how did he poison it?" " He gave it me to drink, knowing it was poisonous, and offered me more of it, pretending it was very good—and then he owned after, when I asked him, after I saw it in the book, that it is very poisonous. He wanted to poison me with it, to get my money and effects. The villain 1" " But how did he poison it ?" " Why, it's poisonous water—the water of the lake is poisonous." " Poison ous !"—" Yes—it's very poisonous: and after I had drank it, the fool gave me this French book to readabout it—and the first thing I saw (for I understand French) was, that the water of the lake is very poisonous. You see here it is ;—he says—" this lake is very poisonous—hien poi sonneux ;"--(showing us the words in a French book, containing a description of the I.ake of Lucerne.) Here Lady Himlocke and I burst out into an uncontrollable fit of laughter. " I don't know what you see to laugh at," he exclaimed, looking very angry--" for if you don't believe it, I can tell you it's true—and too true,. for the rascal himself owned it to my face, when I asked him. He said it was very poisonous (lien poisomieur), and he told me, too, of--I don't know how many hundred of people that died all in one day with drinking of it—the villain ! But he shall drink it himself—l'll be hang'd if he shan't!" And instantly as this thought struck him, he seized the unludky little Swiss by the collar, who kicked and re belled with all his might, conceiving himself in the grasp of a madman, who was going to toss him into the lake; but his struggles were in vain—for he was as a shrimp in the bands of the athletic Englishman, who dragged him, in a moment, to the water's edge, and standing over him, in a menacing attitude, exclaimed, " Boir! bolt!" The trembling Swiss, who fancied he himself wanted to drink, submissively ejaculated, " Oui, Monsieur !" and filling a leathern cup, which, with a shaking hand, he drew from his pocket, he presented it to the English man. " You impudent rascal I" exclaimed the enraged Euglishman—" do you want to poison me again ?" And seizing him by the shoulders, he shook him until hie bones must have been nearly dislocated, saying—" Boire roux, voles ell!: to boire"—in a voice choked with passion. Trembling in every limb, the poor little Swiss, now be ginning to understand, passively took a drink, " There— now I think I've clone for you I" exclaimed the English man triumphantly—" I've paid you up. But oh ! oh! the poison ! the poison ! Oh! Think of dying this way—poisoned like a rat ? Oh ! I'm sick !--Oh ! oh ! oh !" Lady Huniocke—(who as well as myself, had been all the time ia convulsions of laughter) .. —now at tempted to articulate—" It is the emetic ! You are not poisoned. The water is not poisonous." "Oh ! oh ! You foolish woman 1 Oh !—Why you don't understand French. The book says the water is fres poisonnen.r,' which in English means"—" That it's : very full of fish," interrupted Lady Hunlocke. "Of poison, I tell you. Oh !"—ejaculated the poor sick wretch. "Of poison, which means fish, certainly ; and poissonneux means fishy, exclaimed Lady fluttlocke in a fresh paroxysm of laughter. When at last he was, wit h some difficulty, convin ce d th at the lake, instead of being poisonous, merely abounded in fish, he went nearly distracted with rage, and raved at his own stupidity, at the guide's stupidity, at our stupidity, and at the unlucky emetic, which now made him ex tremely ill in good earnest.—Continental Adventures.
